The film is set entirely at BP isn't it? IIRC the British didn't let any of

Nazi spy a bit of a problem). Still I understand your annoyance at the
way the Polish contribution has been downplayed in the popular treatments
of the enigma saga, it was an extremely impressive intellectual achievement
quite apart from the practical consequences.
